Completely unscathed!
Lucifer’s field-wiping strike, the rolling darkness, passed right over the Sarcophagus—leaving not even a scratch.
Jaden murmured, "This Sarcophagus contains Mr. Yugi’s will..."
He didn’t continue, but thought of his own Super Polymerization. The card gained through Supreme King’s sacrifice—wasn’t that also a continuation of his will?
"And, the ’Gadget Trio’ you just destroyed," Kira added, "when this card is destroyed by battle or effect, I can set the Continuous Trap ’Stronghold the Hidden Fortress’ from my Deck."
The Wicked God grunted heavily.
"But what’s the point if only that card remains?"
He spoke coldly.
"Everything else on your field has been destroyed by Lucifer. Next comes your end!
I activate ’The First Darklord’s’ other effect!
Once per turn, during either Main Phase, pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon any Fairy-type monster from your hand or Graveyard in Defense Position!"
[Wicked God, LP 6600 → LP 5600]
A dark light shot out from the Wicked God’s Graveyard, blood-red feathers swirling in the air. The Darklord who had just been banished this turn was already back from the dead.
"Darklord Superbia!"
[Darklord Superbia, DEF 2400]
"Heh, let’s see you use that damned Sarcophagus to block my revival this time," the Wicked God taunted.
Kira replied, "The Shining Sarcophagus can send a revived monster back to the Graveyard, but this effect can only be activated once per turn."
The Wicked God snorted. "Lucifer’s effect revives the Darklord in Defense, but at that moment, Superbia’s effect also activates!
When Darklord Superbia is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, it can revive another Darklord!
Come back to the field, Darklord Tezcatlipoca!"
[Darklord Tezcatlipoca, ATK 2800]
In an instant, three great Darklords stood on the field!
Jaden: "Even with Kira and the Sarcophagus, the Wicked God really isn’t easy to deal with..."
All attacks were neutralized, yet he could immediately reorganize a counterattack. Such relentless aggression, such resilience...
No wonder he was considered the most troublesome of all the Wicked Gods. Jaden thought, if he had to face him, it would be a tough battle.
But Kira’s field was now empty. Even though the Sarcophagus remained, providing sustainability, the situation was still dangerous.
Yet Jaden wasn’t worried.
If it’s Kira, he’ll find a way.
"Die!" the Wicked God roared. "The First Darklord, direct attack!"
Sure enough, just as Lucifer’s sword fell, at the very last moment—
Kira muttered, almost to himself, "Now, you ought to be useful, at least a little, right?"
"How rude!"
A protesting voice shouted.
"I’ve always been super useful, okay!?"
As he spoke, a big eye flew out, leaping in front of Kira on the field.
Jaden: "Ah! That spirit!"
But he remembered—hadn’t this spirit lost all its data?
The next moment, the eye began to glow, resonating with the Sarcophagus!
That’s right, it was said to be a guardian spirit. To hide the sealed location, it had erased its own memory and information.
Then could this card be related to the Sarcophagus...?
